Change Creation: The Rest of the Planning Story

By: Dale Lick,Roger Kaufman

Change creation, moving beyond change management, is a proactive process in which change is an accepted—and even welcomed— reality.

From Volume 29 Number 2 | Winter 2000–2001

Abstract: The authors describe why typical change efforts fail and define both the need and the process for creating change. They also emphasize the critical nature of learning as it relates to change and introduce the universal change principle—that learning precedes change. The role of culture in the change process is explored. The authors then walk the reader through a step-by-step change creation process, which is designed to support successful change efforts.

Changes in Spanish Universities: Improvements and Unsolved Conflicts

By: Jose-Gines Mora,Javier Vidal

While the Spanish system of higher education has taken great strides forward in the last two decades, there is still room for improvement.

From Volume 29 Number 2 | Winter 2000–2001

Abstract: Spain has experienced a period of profound change affecting its political, social, and economic systems in the last two decades. These changes, in turn, have affected the higher education system considerably. Because they have taken place over a short period of time, these changes have created a dynamic situation. Although the consequences of most of these changes have been extremely positive, some unintended negative effects have also occurred. Both positive and negative consequences of the fast change are discussed in this article.

The Balanced Scorecard: Beyond Reports and Rankings

By: Alice C. Stewart,Julie Carpenter-Hubin

More commonly used in the commercial sector, this approach to strategic assessment can be adapted to higher education.

From Volume 29 Number 2 | Winter 2000–2001

Abstract: Effective benchmarking demands continuous change with equal emphasis on identifying the goal and understanding why the goal is important. In this article, the authors suggest analytic frameworks that might be useful in moving benchmarking from a tracking and monitoring exercise to an organizational process that informs the strategic decision making of university administration.

Nexus: Mission Critical–Higher Education For The 21st Century

By: Camille M. Kirk

This series explores the connected nature of higher education planning.

From Volume 29 Number 1 | Fall 2000

Abstract: This article analyzes educational mission in terms of three foundational questions: what is the purpose of higher education, who should higher education serve, and how does the higher education institution fit in to the larger society? The author considers the factors influencing the mission of higher education within the context of these questions. She argues that institutions must define a clear and vibrant mission arising from their individual value systems by answering the three questions.

Planning for Interdisciplinary Integration

By: Cahal Stephens

Increasingly, institutions are constructing unified science centers -- the physical counterpart of multidisciplinary curricula.

From Volume 29 Number 1 | Fall 2000

Abstract: While it was once common to find separate buildings dedicated to the study and research of chemistry, biology, physics, and the earth sciences, there is a current movement in college and university settings toward unifying the science disciplines in one building or complex. This article addresses, in detail, this trend toward unification by discussing the driving forces behind the trend, the benefits of integrated science facilities, the challenges of the planning and design process, and the intricacies of the design approach.
